I like that Gyllenhaall does not have a Dwayne Johnson/Jason Statham/Vin Diesel ego problem about getting his ass kicked.

OG had.. Swayze, Sam Elliot, Jeff Healey on guitar, Bigfoot smashing cars.. 80s hair.. and boobs.. it'll never be beaten by a remake these days..

If the movie is so removed from the original, why name it after the original? The answer is they need nostalgia to get it noticed. I think this hurts the new movie by endless comparisons.

Gyllenhaal and Swayze were in Donnie Darko.

"I thought you'd be bigger."

I haven't seen it (yet?), but this makes you wonder if they could have easily changed the names of characters and of the movie and made it it's own thing.

No nobody can beat Patrick Swayze 😅

The original Roadhouse sits right up there with Point Break, Rocky IV, Predator and Top Gun (either of them) as some of my favourite braindead, watch-em-cos-you-love-em kinds of movies. I'll probably like this one too... but I'll miss Sam Elliott - he was perfect...

One of my favourite things about the original is the fact Patrick Swayze’s character had the Sam Elliot friend character. Also, the blind blues guitarist was very memorable! Is there any comparable musician in this remake?

Pain don’t hurt.

Patrick Swayze would be Round House Kicking in his grave.

You just can't have the same content as the 80s and Patrick Swayze was so good.

If ever there was a movie that did not deserve a remake Road House would be it.

Patrick forever. One of the movies that encapsulates the 80s. Plus tired of remarkes

The most important thing here is the best "part" of the original movie, Sam Elliott as Wade Garrett. No remake, no matter how good it is can beat that !

My biggest issue is the headbutt... Anyone who fights knows to never get that close...🤦🤦🤦🤦

The original Road House is the Citizen Kane of action movies.

Right the remake will never cross my eyes

I had someone tell me their uncle worked on the first Road House as Swayze's "phone book guy". Anytime Swayze had a scene with someone over 5'6" he would run over and stack the books as needed for Swayze to stand on before shooting.

I just watched it. Very good movie. Didn't have the darkness of the first but the first was mainly set in the night

Damn. I hoped he’d have a “Sam Elliot” mentor in this.

I'm only interested if they're going to drive Bigfoot through a car dealership.

It's good to see McGregor's practice in that Burger King advert paying off. I'm only half joking cuz if you compare the two performances he's made leaps and bounds in terms of line delivery. He's trying his best dammit

You can't beat the OG

Pain don't hurt.

Hollywood doesn't have enough creative brain power to make their own movie so they have to remake good movies, and make them badly, one day Hollywood will get around to remaking The Princess Bride and Stand By Me, they already did the Hollywood remake treatment on Point Break look how that turned out

Great review! I get the feeling we spent our weekends in about the same way between 88-95. I'll be checking this out.

Bad choice to leave out the sam Elliott character

Dalton being a world famous UFC fighter sort of makes him being famous and recognisable make more sense than in the original were he was just legit a bouncer :P I liked it overal. I think 7 is fair, it wasn't amazing, but it was a good movie and i can definatly rewatch it. It had fun characters in it and McGregor was fun to watch. And Gyllenhaal sells the movie.

How’d you see this already? Isn’t it scheduled for release on the 21st?

Think you've got that theater vs home theology a bit off there.... Theater = big fuzzy screen, terrible sound, bed bug infested chairs, of which are also covered in hair (all kinds), fluids, solids, and sadly more... Home = 4K HDR screen, likely 55"-80" or so... far better detail, far better color, far better contrast, and far better sound too. As most are going to have sound systems, subs, etc. From there it just goes up with options, adaptive rear lighting, amazing seating, snacks that aren't $40+ each thing... from drinks, to candy, to popcorn.... Home's better in every way, but it's also where you're gonna see through bad cgi... if anything bad cgi is FAR more hidden on the big blurry screen. While someone else's body lice make you their new home...

Gyllenhaal is 8 years older than McGregor. Clearly, one is aging a bit more gracefully than the other

Great review. I thought McGregor did great in that role. like the original, there are parts that are unbelievable, but it is what it is. I also liked that Gyllenhall made the character his own and didn't try to play it exactly like swayze.

The bar music in the OG was epic...this needed that vibe

I grew up with the original and have watched it (certain scenes may have stretched the VHS!) and loved it as much as anyone - and I'm actually really pumped for this movie

They remade Roadhouse???? Some things really should be left alone!

Does it have the classic line at the end about prison tho?

Fair assessment... Your points make sense. I liked this a little better. I had a really good time watching this with my mother and we both laughed, dug the action and liked that it wasn't a rehash of the original. I also felt like "if" they were to do a sequel of sorts that Conor and Jake's characters should team the FK up... Why not. This movie was played fairly straight till the point Jake goes the FK off. You see he really is dark. Anti-hero of sorts. A good guy that if pushed too far goes dark and doesn't give a FK all the way through. Those were my take aways. As you say, great B movie. I agree... But a damn good one for what it is...

The mercenary a small indie movie released in 2020 was the best original action martial arts movie I saw in a long time. It stars Dominique Vandenberg the guy who created the fighting scenes in gangs of New York and was a real life soldier of fortune and French foreign legionnaire in 2Rep

I liked it. Different but modern and entertaining. I was waiting for the Sam Elliot charter the whole time. I was like who did he email at the bookstore?

The way Henry Braham uses colors is out of this world

Don’t forget that Jake Gyllenhaal busted out some action in prince of Persia a few years ago.

Of all the remakes that have released in the past few years this is one.

First mistake was placing it in the Keys but filmed mostly in DR...any Floridian could spot that! They way the "Locals" talked and interacted was just ridiculous, apparently research was NOT done. The fight scenes were pretty good, but I really couldn't submit to the fantasy of the Monroe County Sheriff being that corrupt, and he "ran" all of Monroe County, that was just too far fetched. I'm gonna take a guess as to why they couldn't actually film in Monroe County, they had this movie looking like a western with only one sheriff in town and few deputies 😂😂😂. They should have picked some remote spot out in the middle of nowhere for all that dumb shit 😂😂

We differ on the details but I pretty much agree with your general assessment. A very fair review.

The remake was a good B movie and that is just what we need to see more of these days, But you are right it was missing the T and A that the original had. It was refreshing not being lectured to or over ridden with politics.

Pleasantly surprised. Very well made and entertaining remake. Bravo❤

The original had a ton of heart despite its B movie trappings. From the trailer alone you can tell this remake doesn’t capture that, or even attempt to…

Didn't they say the "Roadhouse" can't be accessed by Boat which is why they unload Booze through the front? On a Dolly They mention that there's no reason for them to want it cause literally the land is useless for bringing stuff in, so how did the Boats smash into the Roadhouse if it wasn't the depth to be able to drive a boat up?

It was better than I expected tbh, not a masterpiece or as good as the original but a solid competent action flick.

The blood, sweat, & tears he put into his body for this role, in addition to him just being a great actor, I can't wait to see what Jake does in this remake. Love the original, I just hope this one does nicely.

I love b action movies. We do need more of these. Lock Out with Guy Pierce is one that comes to mind.

As I commented on another video... I normally hate remakes and reboots. Especially if my favorites flicks. But this looks ok. I may watch it.

Roadhouse is one of my favourite films n I am worried that the new one will be like the remake of point break n be shit n point break is one of my favourite too

I like that you don't use an AI voiceover.

Just thinking of the original puts a smile on my face. It’s a mess but it’s just too much fun. Much as I love Jake and Doug Liman is a good choice you just can’t replace the original. It’s of it’s time and place and I wouldn’t change it (although I would love to see the original cut)

I think Conor, key word “looked” great in the movie but the writing for his lines…. I get he’s a debuting actor and everything but at least give him a shot at something serious. His best moment, acting moment, is at the end of the bar scene, pretty chilling.

I watched it last night and liked it but I wish they would have called it something else. They need to stop remaking classics.

Swayze rip legend 🙏

Those remakes aren't bad, but it still isn't the same as the original.

Saw this on Prime the other day, and yeah "direct to video" really paints a picture of where this movie needs to be. Gyllenhaal was not a great star for his roll, he seemed like too nice of a guy for someone who fights for a living, and even McGreggory had a goofy smile on his face the whole time which granted gave him the psychopath look really well just didn't seem to fit in right with the movie. There are some nods to the original, the waitress bringing him breakfast the first morning (no Jake in the buff though), there is a romance with the doctor but much more subdued in nature, even a nod to the "pain don't hurt" staple scene you felt was coming... but he didn't want any of that instead opting for a big bandage. I will say the MacGuffin for the movie of wanting to have a resort on the property and she is the last one to not sell is a bit better than the original where the guy was pissed because his nephew got fired. But in general none of the characters felt very memorable or part of the story really, there's the young girl at the book store who has like 3 scenes in the whole movie, there's barely a scene with one new bouncer he hires... "oh you have scars on your knuckles... ok you're hired!" type of scene, heck the owner of the bar felt like she was barely in the movie.

The worst: Jake getting knife stabbed by a drunk with 15 secs notice when he is supposed to be invinsible. The cornball act necessary for him to meet the nurse, but silly. The best: Casting Bucho from Desperado.

I watched this remake last night [at time of comment]...and for me, I'd call it like this: As a Friday Night romp/remake...it was good, it had all the ingredients for a goodie/baddie battle...brief story history of the protagonist...and gets to the point. However!...for me, it didn't have that family-vibe built between the characters like the original did. The original with Swayze broke the mould...It was by an era...With "The Original" you NEVER get bored of watching it...for an era. That being said, the ridiculousness of baddies getting severly beaten up/stabbed and "literally" coming back worked in this CGI-Punches version, as you know what you're getting, and it doesn't have to take itself seriously...My childhood era vis the original will never be surpassed "in terms of its enduring staying-power over the past 35+yrs] but this modern version, with fantastic physiques to aspire to/the fights/the action/a scarilly-wild Conor McGregor...It's good...I give the original 1989 version an 8.5/10...and the 2024 remake 7.5/10....

I kind of like the Patrick Swayze version better in that it had heart. It made you care for the Dalton character. The remake had good acting, actions sequence were decent. But it was missing something, in that I didn't care about the characters as I did with the 80s version.

Just watched it on streaming, had low expectations but actually found it enjoyable. No where near as good as original but Hollywood needs to make more movies like this. Low budget action films with over the top hero’s and villains!!

I was lucky to watch it at 3am yesterday. A fun tine

B movie?! The stars alone knocks it out of that Category.

I watched the new movie yesterday and the original today, and I actually enjoyed both. Similar in premise, however the story does takes some new beats here and there. Missing a Sam Elliot friend character, however Jake and the big guy do well in the second half of the movie as rivals and there is enough background character plot, plus good fight scenes in the remake to make both entertaining for me. Original 9/10 Remake 8/10 for me.

Action effects story etc are amazing. This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. He is right about one thing. It can't touch the original. But it wasn't meant to. This was meant to be a different story arc. Think multiverse. As a stand alone movie this was VERY good. Job well done.

I love that they did something completely different than the original..And it works for the most parts..Hope it gets a equal.

NO NO NO NO HELL NO!! Road House 89 is a classic that should have never been touched. Hell I'm still mad that they even made a sequel to it 15 years later after the original. I'll say it before and I'll say it again. Hollywood is creatively bankrupt is just make cheap cashions on classic movies. It has to stop fans. We have to not go to these movies and spend our money on cheap remakes

Gyllenhaal is a legit serious role actor. Fact he can pull off action roles shows how great an all rounder he is.

Also connor was filmed with Forced Perspective which highlighted how Short he actually is

I just heard Terry Funk's voice say get him out of here and table full of drinks breaking

OG is a classic, huge fan, seen it 10 times. I had fun with the new one. First time I’ve had fun with a movie in what feels like years

This isn't the Dalton from the first original, and I didn't want it to be... I was hoping for a fresh take on a great movie and I got that. I really liked his personality, always being nice, trying to help, (even the people he beat up). Feel free to listen to other's opinions, but just watch it for yourself and decide for yourself.

David Bahktiari slamming a beer was the best part of this video. If you know, you know.

Wouldn’t watch it if you paid me. There’s only one Road House!

we are in a "does it need or doesn't it need a remake portion of our decade. an a lot need no remake or direct sequels. trying to come up with new content has been a constant struggle in Hollywood. i'll give this a watch anyway cause Jake. he make anything worth watching once.

It's not a total parody but a middle of the road one. I can appreciate that. The people treating this movie as a bit for bit replica as the original are ignorant. That's not the movies purpose.

I preferred not really knowing too much about Dolton past like where learned how too fight

Now i have 2 roadhouse movies to enoy. It was a great film.

When I was in like 5th grade we used to write scripts and most of us would write ones like this. Take a cool movie you saw and basically write the same thing with a couple of your own twists. Even use the same title. Those got thrown out quick if the teacher knew of the movie. Said it was lazy and unoriginal. Now that's the norm in Hollywood. Boy was she wrong. 🤣

This movie was pure garage and to say Jake did a good job in it is just mind boggling. The entire time he looked like even he didn't understand why he was in this movie.

It was a decent movie and had it been named something else it would have even been a good movie BUT naming it what they did gave it VERY unrealistic expectations. Some movies just shouldn't be messed with and THIS was one of them.

Let's be clear Patrick Swayze is the man 1 Will always be a classic ... I never recall Dalton Beating somebody up. And then drive them to the hospital...😒.... Respect to jake He's a pretty solid actor .

The original is going to be hard to beat. I've rewatched the film a couple of times recently and it still holds up as great popcorn flick.

4:00 oh god......McGregor is as good an actor as i thought he would be after seeing the Burgerking commercial.

"You're too stupid to have a good time", best line in the original😂 RIP to Patrick Swayze......his screen presence made that movie great

I watched roadhouse on prime nz today then the original liked both film and new version isnt a update just a film to enjoy

Will DEFINITELY stick to the 1989 original movie 🎥 100% !!

The most unbelievable thing in the film was Mcgregor going for a takedown!

People been saying connor megrogor acting was horrible I think for his first roll he done very well way better than the rocks acting still to this day and look at all the movies he played in

I have only seen the trailers so far, but I like what they have done with Dalton, and Connor McGregor works really well as teh bad guy.

I was also at a 7, until the line: "This piano is out of tune." "I think it sounds fine." 🤮 6, at best, but I was entertained. A fun testosterone filled watch.

It would’ve made more sense to call it ROAD HOUSE 3 with the lead NOT named Dalton, just to reduce comparisons and let the film stand better on its own… as your review states, PART “3” IS entertaining… to a fault.

I thought this was more of a re-imagining of the original concept rather than a remake. Aside from the basic premise, the movie plays out different. I really liked the new film. They should have called it something else. It could have been a Road House 2. Like those sequels that have the same premise but with a different cast and such.

Imagine Jean Claude Van Damme as Wade. Omitting Wade was stupid.

Really I've been worried about what this movie will be like because my parents got my name from the original but I'm actually pleased that it's not trash. It's a movie and not a bad one at all haha. I was expecting far worse. Definitely a bad idea to be premiering it when all the southern people will be asleep.

I'll watch it, but Patrick Swazye is always gonna be Dalton. And Sam Elliott Wade Garrett.
